Every 14 days till 4 weeks German actors have do a STD test in a laboratory. By now the so-called fulltest is very common which includes tests like HIV, hepatitis C, chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphilis. Depending on the laboratory the test costs over 100 Euro in Europe and generally has to be paid by the actor.

Some doctors recommend a hepatitis b vaccination.
